200s engine probl.

[84honda200s]

well i went riding. i had some good fun till my engine locked up. but now it turns over almost perfect however it wont start back up. i will be checking for spark after work to see if timing jumped. if timing jumped im thinking that i threw the rod and that would have caused the engine to lock up and cause timing to jump.

i need input.

please help me

um no my 200s did that when the stator over heated check the stator and the oil and rob if u need parts i got um i trade or take cash

i dont know it jams up every 2-3 pulls. kinda like the rod or something is catching on something. also can feel a little drag. the oil is good thats the first thing i checked.

bad berring?- broken ring?

[84honda200s]

well i looked today. the cam seized up and jumped timing. so i need a good cam and rockers because the rockers have gouges the size of the grand canyon and so does the cam.


do you guys have any good products in mind?

[team-red-rider]

um are the rockers the same as the 110/125?

[84honda200s]

i have no clue. but i do know i want a good cam. lol

well make sure it didn't ruin the head!!! theres no cam berrings,(bad bad idea from honda)- if its bad youll need a different head ,and rocker cover!
i got a web cam 89a and love it- bad thing they returned my cam core:mad: so i know thell return yours-- 60.00 i wanted back-:cry:
check ebay there are some on there now , i suggest a racier cam though --youll love it compared to the stock junk:beer

you probabley arent getting oil flow to your cylinder head. there should be a screw that you can loosen to check if out comes out..but since your came and rockers are toast...fix it and then check oil flow.

[84honda200s]

well first thing is first. i cant find a cam enywhere under 180.00 so i think its going to be a while before i think about riding again let alone buying the cam. if anyone knows where i can get one for less than 180.00 shoot me a link please.

The good thing about that engine is there are stock aftermarket replacements. Check this one I found on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/84-86-ATC200S-Camshaft-Hi-Performance-Cam-ATC-200S_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43977QQhashZitem26 0048396620QQihZ016QQitemZ260048396620QQrdZ1QQsspag enameZWDVW

Good luck with your project. At least used parts are plentiful for your engine, you should have it up and running in no time and for a reasonable cost.
